Customer Reviews of Quilombo
This movie is excellent You will be amazed at the beauty of a culture that flourished among the slaves at Palmeres. Absolute beauty of africans who decided their own fate in brazil fighting against the rule or the cruel portuguese who tried (and often did) slaughter black people whole sale in south america after slave revolts.
It is an amazing film , that anyone from any culture will enjoy. As an African-American , i really recommend this film to others who made not be aware of the africans who are in south america
Good Story, Bad Acting
"Quilombo" is a historical movie about slavery in Brazil. The movie has a great story to tell about the evils of slavery and how a few Brazilian slaves were able to escape and start a new life and community based on freedom and equality. It's too bad the acting in this movie isn't that great. Many of the scenes in the movie are over dramatic and unrealistic. However, "Quilombo" does offer some insight into Brasilian slave culture.
Brilliant
Being curious about slavery outside of the US, Quilombo seemed to be a good start for me to get a visual sense of what the slaves endured during those times. I am from Ife, Nigeria. The cradle and source of all Yoruba. As I watched Quilombo and saw the language and religion of my people displayed regularly through the depictions of the slaves,I felt a kinship onscreen with the characters and of seeing the fate of my people who were brought over to Brazil in chains, but still used the "source" to garner the strength to chase off their captors. Ogun, Shango, all are references to the dieties in the Yoruba faith. It's obvious that those freed in Brazil did everything to retain their old ways of life, and did so in death. I felt honored to be "introduced" to the fate of my people when they crossed towards the otherside. The movie touched me very personally. A must see....
